TELEGRPHiG DISPATCHES.
Entered the CITY

/ Pacific Railroad has at Inst come into
this city in Il WY entirely unexpected ,
1t IS going to compete with the Southern
! Pacific ou business out Il this city TO
points in !daho, Montana and Utah.
! The latter company heretofore has had
no opposition fEouu this coast 10 tho.e
| territories, except from the Northern
Pacific to points in Moutaua. The bulk
of the local Interstate business, as it
may be called, has always gone over The
| Central 2ac.fc rs far as Ogden, and tien
over branch line OF the Union Pacific.
! The late purchase ~ the Union Pacific
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
| Company gave the desired facilities Ct
reaching tGcsc places from this city by
way OF Portland Oregon. The rates
that it makes ta Utah points are virtual
Iy the same as over The Central Pacific.
The same is the Gaze in the rates t.
Helena, Montana; but those to points in
Idaho are materially lower, in order to
connect with its railroad system at Port
land, the Union Pacific will run tLree
steamers out OF this port. They are the
Columbia, State OF California and re
Gon. Commencing tomorrow, these
steamers will leave here alternately
every four days. The Columbia will be
the first to leave. One great advantage
OF this step TO the Union Pacific is that
it will get the entire benefit Of The freight
charges of the long haul 10 almost
all the towns on the Oregon Short
Line, instead of giving the Central Pa
clic the benefit of the haul as far as
Ogden. Then, again, it can charge less
to those poiats, for the distance by way
OF Portland Is less than by way CT Ogden.
General Traffic Manager j. c. Siubb,
speaking on the subject, said that the
new move was nf some importance SO far
as the Jnion Pacific was concerned, yet
he did not think 1t would affect the Cen
trail Pacific very much. The Union Paci-
fic could not afford to reduce the present
rate from here to Utah. The amount of
business sent from the east to Utah WAS
81 psr cent, while the amount sent from
here was only q per cent.
II it reduced the rates from here to
Utah then the rates on its long haul
from the east to the same place would
have to be reduced. On the Montana
business they had always had the con-
petition of the Northern Pacific. rs far
Us the Idaho business was concerned, If
the Union Pacific got the best of them
they would meet wbatever rates the
former might make. Both roads having
the same ratos Il those territories, be
did not think that much of the business
would go by the way of Portland.
